ANNA KOURNIKOVA - ANNA KOURNIKOVA GAINS GRANNY'S APPROVAL TO WED ENRIQUE

Tennis star ANNA KOURNIKOVA is set to wed her Latin heartthrob ENRIQUE IGLESIAS - but only after gaining her grandmother's permission.

The blonde beauty took him to meet her granny in Moscow last month (MAR04) - and luckily granny Kournikova, who is also called ANNA, took quite a liking to the pop-hero and blessed their union.

She says, "I found him a very charming boy. Enrique is very tender with Anna. He looks after her and we think she's really happy with him."

But Anna's babushka did have some stricter words to say, and scolded the tennis star for "living with sin" with Enrique.

She says, "It's a shame they're not married yet, but young people don't want to follow our traditions."
